Beacon II™ Refrigeration System

Beacon II™ Refrigeration System is a patented, pre-assembled, factory-installed refrigeration control system featuring an integrated microcomputer-based electronic control board and an electric expansion valve at the heart of the system. With components factory mounted at both the condensing unit and evaporator, the Beacon II™ system can be used with single or multiple evaporator applications. While perfect for restaurants and convenience stores, the Beacon II™ system can be scaled up to meet the needs of larger refrigerated warehouses with optional system devices such as the Beacon II™ Smart Controller.

Features and Benefits

Reduced Installation Time/Cost

• Factory mounted components, testing, and programming substantially reduces field assembly and fine tuning at the job site

Increased System Efficiency & Reliability

• Beacon II™ electronic control board and electric expansion valve more accurately controls the flow of refrigerant verses traditional thermal expansion and solenoid valves
• Preset factory superheat allowing the system to run more efficiently and reducing future adjustments

Reduced Energy & Operating Costs

• Reduce up to 75% of unnecessary defrosts per day verses traditional timer systems with the Beacon II™ Smart Defrost

Improved Product Integrity & Reduced Spoilage

• Precise temperature control improves product integrity while alarm notifications helps prevent small problems from turning into large problems

Strengthen Food Safety Compliance Programs

• Data-logging capability helps comply with FDA and USDA HACCP food safety requirements

Compatible with the Remote Refrigeration Control

• Web based remote monitoring and control service offering that provides instant access 24/7 to real time refrigeration system status and information

Factory Mounted Components

Condensing Unit

• Wired for Beacon II™ control with all necessary relays, contactors, time delay, and terminal blocks
• Outdoor air temperature sensor

Evaporator

• Beacon II™ control board with easy to read alphanumeric LED display
• Three temperature sensors (defrost temp, suction temp, room temp)
• Electronic expansion valve that closes automatically on loss of power
• 24-volt transformer, 24-volt compressor contactor, low pressure time delay switch, and suction pressure transducer
